After a solid night of sleep, I went out for a middle distance-run at an easy pace. Since I’m exactly one week away from running my first trail race, I do not want to push it and wear out my legs, but I still want to accomplish my minimum 60-miles-per-week of running. Consequently, my aim is to put some miles in at the start of the week in order to taper at the end of the week. Also, my legs felt pretty good after yesterday’s long, but slow paced run; therefore, hopefully my plan is working.
Anyways, for this workout I ran up to Oakridge Elementary and completed one lap around the school’s trail before heading back home by way of Olympus Hills Park and the vacant lot which use to house the Cottonwood Mall then over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed a single lap around the softball complex. The total distance of this run was 11.2 miles.
My non-running workout for this Sunday consisted of a 60-second plank on elbows and toes, 200 sit-ups, 25 push-ups, and 15 metronomes. |
